I'm sorry, but this is a ludicrous post. I don't care what framework you use, if a moron is writing the code, you're going to end up with moronic code. To cast the blame off onto the framework is, well, at least as moronic as the moronic code; maybe even more so. Not only that, but I'd be willing to wager that the code from a moron would be even -more- moronic without the framework (any framework) in place. I originally looked at Fusebox way back in the v2 or v3 days (can't remember for sure which it was). For a variety of reasons I really disliked it. So, as a result, I wrote my own quasi-framework and used it for several years. Long story (you can read more about it here: http://www.quackfuzed.com/index.cfm/2007/4/17/Am-I-Done-Reinventing-the-Wheel), but summed up, Fusebox 5.1 is nothing less than AWESOME. @ Ali - I personally would -highly- recommend using a framework, and unless you're coming from an OO language, I would *extremely highly* recommend Fusebox 5.1 as the starting point. If you do have an OO background, then ModelGlue or Mach-ii might be better suited to your tastes, but if not, they'll likely be a bit scary to jump into. Hope that helps.
